The rain didn't stop the Bianconeri fans invading the Val Rendena en masse on Sunday. And it didn't even stop the nightly events at the Summer Village. Everybody stayed put under the stage with their umbrellas awaiting the arrival of a really special pair, Gianluca Pessotto and David Trezeguet.

There was talk of football, but also of charity work. Alongside the two Juve idols, DJ Nana and Valeria Ciardiello, the stage welcomed Professor Luigi Zanesco, Head Physician at the Padua Hospital’s Children's haematology-oncology department, and Ivana Lorenzini, vice-president of the ADMO (the Bone Marrow Donors Association).

Juventus gave them a football, signed by all the Bianconeri players, which will be auctioned off to gather funds for the association. It was the chance to confirm the Club’s involvement with the charity, which began back in 1995, around the time of footballer Andrea Fortunato's untimely, tragic death.
